VALVE Farnham Yardley, West Orange, N. 3., assignmto Jenkins Bros., New York, N. Y., a corporation of New Jersey Application July 27, 1932, Serial No. 625,142 1 Claim. (Cl. 25149) The invention relates to certain improvements the valve disk 15, which permits of the valve in valves of the type involving the head and disk being readily attached to and detached slot or so-called slip-on connection between the from the spindle. stem and valve disk and has for its object to In valve constructions of this general type, provide means to prevent the displacement of the valve disk is frequently accidentally sepa- 6 the valve disk from the stem, when the bonnet rated from the spindle, especially when the bonis removed from the casing, said means includnet is being removed from the casing for the ing radially disposed wings or guides on the purpose of adjusting, repairing or replacing the back of the valve disk which normally engage valve disk or for regrinding the valve seat, and E0 the interior surfaces of the neck of the valve one object of the instant invention is to prevent 0 casing and which cooperate with the interior this separation of the valve disk from the spinof the bonnet to prevent the accidental sepadle by providing the upper face of the back of ration of the disk and spindle, when the bonnet the valve disk with a series of radially or upis removed, the rim of the neck and the interior wardly projecting wings or guide members 20, face of the bonnet being provided with coacting the lateral edges of which normally engage the beveled surfaces which cooperate to prevent the interior of the neck 2 and serve to guide the deformation 0; the neck-and the binding of the valve disk'in its movement toward and from the guide wings in the neck,when the bonnet is set seat 3. These wings are made sumciently high, up, said coacting beveled surfacesalso serving so that, when the valve disk-is moved a short as an additional seal between the bonnet and distance from its seat, the upper portions of 20 the neck to prevent leakage. the wings will lie within the plane of the lower The invention is illustrated in the accompanyedge of the skirt 5 of the bonnet and, when the ing drawing, in which: I latter is removed from the casing, the said Fig. 1 is asectional elevation of a typical guides will prevent lateral movement of the 26 valve involving the novel construction. valve disk suflicient to separate the same from Fig. 2 is a plan view of the valve disk. its slotted engagement with the headed end of Referring to the drawing, 1 indicates the the spindle, the distance between the lateral valve casing, the valve illustrated being of the faces of the wings 20 and the interior of the globe type with the usual valve seat 3. The skirt 5 of the bonnet being such as to prevent 3 vagve casing; is formed with an annular neck 2, movement of the valve disikvithtrespeict to tge 80 w ich is ex eriorly threaded to engage the intehead 4 sumcient to separa e he ead rom t e riorly threaded skirt 5 of a bonnet 4, which latslot 18. ter is exteriorly threaded on its upper end to It' is desired that a relatively close iit be receive the interiorly threaded cap 8, which maintained between the guides 20 and the inteengages the usual follower 9 to compress the rior wall of the neck, not only to accurately 35 packing 10 between the interior of the neck of guide the valve in its movements, but to prethe bonnet and the valve spindle, as is usual vent destructive chattering of the valve, when in valves of this type. The upper edge or rim the latter is employed inlines conveying fluid of the neck 2 is formed with an inwardly and under high velocity, with a minimum of cleardownwardly beveled surface 2', which is adaptance between the wings and the neck. Any dis- 40 ed to be engaged by a complementary beveled tortion or deformation of the interior of the shoulder 4' formed on the under f e of e neck from its normal annular shape, such as is bo The P p Of these Coacting beveled frequently produced when the bonnet is screwed surfaces is to provide an additional seal between home, would cause the valve disk to bind in the bonnet and the neck of the casing, when h casing and prevent its proper opening and 45 w bonnetfls screwed home t What 15 more closing movements. In order to prevent the "P 'i m the presept case to fi squeezing in or distortion of the neck of the gg gfi g g g gfisg g 5: i 2}; er valve casing by the bonnet, the coacting beveled explained surfaces 2 and 4 on the upper rim of the neck 50 The spindle'll is provided with screw threads and the mner ,face 9 ,bonnet al been 13, which engage the interior threads 6 in the be most efiectlv? m Fnamtammg the bonnet and the lower end of the spindle is protrue of the mtenol' of the neck, vided with a head 4 adapted to engage an open thereby insuring a proper fit between the samesided slot 18 formed in a boss 17 on the top of and e lateral faces of the guides 80 that the valve disk will be absolutely free from binding and from chattering.

While it is recognized that the slip-on type of valve disk is old per se, and it is also old in the art to provide a valve bonnet with a beveled rib to engage a coacting beveled surface on the rim of the neck, it is essentially new to combine these two features. in a single valve structure, which latter will, therefore, the advantages of the slip-on type 01 valve disk and obviate the common disadvantage of this type, namely, the destructive chattering of the valve disk on the one hand and the sticking or I freezing of the valve disk within the neck, when an interior screw thread toengage the threads on the neck and an inwardly beveled seat on its inner face engaging the beveled rim on the neck,

said beveled surfaces being in sliding contact throughout a range of adjustment of said bonnet with respect to said neck whereby said neck is restrained against deflection, a valve spindle in threaded engagement with the bonnet and having a head on its lower end, a valve disk having a slotted boss on its back for slip-on engagement with the head on the spindle, and radially and outwardly extending wings on the disk having such clearance with the interior of the neck as both to guide and prevent chattering of the disk, said wings also cooperating with the interior of the bonnet to prevent displacement of the disk from the spindle when the 'disk is separated from'its seat and the bonnet is removed.
